UMNO’S Kinabatangan MP Bung Moktar Radin today confirmed that he and his wife had been questioned by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) for alleged corruption.

He told The Malaysian Insight that he was summoned by anti-graft officers in Kota Kinabalu while his actress wife Zizie Ezzete was questioned in Kuala Lumpur.

The outspoken MP and his wife were held for several hours and had their statements recorded by MACC officers, and were released later in the day. 

“I was summoned to the MACC office in Kota Kinabalu and my wife to the office in Kuala Lumpur.

“I was released after questioning and MACC will proceed to charge me in court in Kuala Lumpur this Friday.” 

It is understood that Bung Mokhtar and his wife had been detained to facilitate an investigation into alleged graft amounting several millions of ringgit and linked to his former role as Felcra chairman.

An MACC source earlier told The Malaysian Insight that the investigation against the couple involves millions of ringgit.

“Yes, the MP was a chairman of a government agency when BN was the federal government,” said the source.

MACC deputy chief commissioner (operations) Azam Baki has confirmed the arrest but refused to provide details. – May 1, 2019

    • They are trying their best but still not enough because the full power still NOT there yet. Cracking corruption is tougher than cracking drug. Those in corrupt usually enjoy their life not in drug because end up they are killing themselves.

  • Please move quickly and investigate all politicians who are living beyond their means and especially those active in business with government linked agencies. Check to ensure the agencies got a fair above board market rates/deals.

  • And u are surprised?. U are one of those 40 thieves under ur Ali Baba Najib. Ur living style and standard do not correspond on the salary nor u are known as a millionaire previously before u became one of the 40 thieves. Do not take the rakyat as witness, we are not as stupid as u think and surely not as stupid as u.
